Is she kidding? I guess she missed that recommendation of Eddie Bernice Johnson. I think that alone balances things out.

A vote for GOP against women

Women, please vote for your rights and do not vote for the GOP in this election. They are trying to take women back to the 1950s, pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen, where they think we belong.

Women have fought long and hard for contraception rights and the right to control our own body. The GOP wants to take this all away. They admit they do not want to pay women equal to men. That point alone should convince you to not vote for the Republican Party.

It is time we stop letting them take our rights away.

Voting in the U.S.? No whining

It cost me $75 to send my ballot in via FedEx from here in Saudi Arabia. At home, I could get driven to the polls, have a polling place nearby and plenty of local opinions to help me find my way through the ballot. Despite the cost, I paid the $75.

So, folks, I want no complaining about voting this year. There it’s fast, simple and there are lots of friendly poll workers to help out. And — since I often work in the polls — I should say there are fair, unbiased poll workers whose only job and intent is to help you cast your vote and have it accurately counted.
